Game of Thrones: Dragonfire

Sheepstealer

Prey-focused anti-Recovery attacker

Sheepstealer marks Prey, pressures it with Fire damage and reduces enemy Recovery. Several later benefits respond to the marked enemy receiving Recovery, so the matchup matters more than a generic Fire-carry label.

Command

Wild Hunt

Wild Hunt can mark a new Prey when none is active, reducing its Recovery received. Scheduled Fire attacks prefer Prey and gain damage against it. At ten Stars, Savage Claim adds Prey damage and self-Recovery, stronger after Prey receives Recovery.

Vanguard · Level 16+

Hunter's Cunning

From Dragon Level 16 in Vanguard, improves personal Intelligence and Recovery received, and increases the right-flank ally's Physical damage. Recovery received does not apply Recovery.

Sources and uncertainty

Skills, rarity, breed, affinities and Habit unlocks use Wyrmwise's reviewed catalogue records, including Dragonfire Lab 0.23.5. They are reviewed community mechanics, not publisher confirmation of every effect. Tactical roles, placement and partner guidance are Wyrmwise inferences from those mechanics.
